Icon4 93 Civic Hb with Koni/GC issue running 235/50/15

My setup is what the title states and I'm having issues with not being able to lift the car up high enough. My problem is the driver side has 5-6 threads left to lift the car up with still and the passenger side is maxed out. My questions are, is the sleeve directional could I have it upside down? The threaded sleeves in the rear are longer, should they be up front? Its so close! I'm looking for someone that has recently done the install or have a set they can take some pics of.


Thanks,
Joe

Collars only go one way

Buy longer springs, perhaps.

^^^ these are the older model coilovers. If I'm not mistaken, the newer ones have a solid (non-threaded) section on the lower portion for the rear sleeves. You sure the shocks are still good and aren't leaking??

what ring on the shock are the c lips on?

I believe the fronts have 2 spots, stock height and -1in

The rears have 3 spots +1in , stock, -1in

Also what length springs do you have ? if you don't know post the #'s on the springs

I think he's doing this for some sort of offroad build. So he's trying to get a ton of height. If he doesn't want to change spring rates, he just needs longer springs or spacers.

What would leaky shocks affect in this case?

A leaking shock condition doesn't affect height. Especially twin tube shocks.

Unless you meant something else?
